sled

• bobber - A person who rides a bobsled or bobsleigh (meaning "short sled").
• pung - Once the name for a one-horse sled or wagon.
• skate, ski, sled - The word skate was originally plural and comes from Dutch schaats, which derived from an Old French word for "stilt," but the connection is unclear. Skate appeared in English in the mid-17th century. Ski, in English by 1755, was borrowed from Norwegian, and ultimately from Old Norse for "snowshoe." Sled came from Flemish and Germanic sledde, between 1325 and 1388, for a "vehicle for transporting heavy goods," and is related to sledge and sleigh.
• toboggan - Comes from Canadian French from Micmac tobakun or Abnaki udabagan, "sled, sleigh."
